Should user profiles be mandatory?
I find it most irritating when I play someone who has not put even the most basic info in their profile.
I'm not asking for an autobiography here, but just...something.
What are your thoughts?

I agree, at least some idiotic blithering should be required of all subscribers.

People should be entitled to their privacy if they want though. And even if they were forced to write a profile they might just write a load of gibberish like myself.

Well, I guess I like the idea. If someone really doesn't want to write a profile, they could just write a bunch of nonsense. But I think that many people, if forced to go through the trouble to write a profile would. I think the reason that we have so few profiles is that 1. Some people may not now how to write one 2. Some people may put it off, or consider it too much trouble.

urrrr....no.

Why on earth should someone feel obliged to write something about themselves on a chess site?

You could always PM them during a game and just ask what sort of person they are....

I like profiles, chats, banter and home town websites to exchange.. the chess is ok too if you don't take mine to seriously.
